Not sure if you are EMG, but I have to admit that you are right, I been through the same path before and this is the one (at least the one that I know) path that really work.
You learn so much when you are with them, and at the same time, you have opportunity to save money for your future trading capital. You need at least 500K capital in order to trade with reasonable risk, with about 15-20% return a year.
Start from 10K to 10 million ?? The chance for this to happen is not any better than winning a lottery. This is only the dream from the loser (like Small Bicycle), those snake oil sales man that try to sell you something, hedge fund Mgr, your broker / market maker (beware: a lot of these type of people in ET). A secret to share, even with a team of 100 PhD from HARWARD and with the best tools, they still can't make 10K to 10 million ..
Market is random .. try a random generator and you still get the same chart as S&P500. -> This is the holy Grail.
